good sponges for the kitchen

I have used these sponges for a long time but recently I notice the scrub part has been coming loose from the sponge. 3M must have changed the glue formula.

These are perfect for my plates & nonstick cookware. I also use them for the bathroom sinks, shower tile & bathtub. They do not scratch which is why they work so well for me.
I have been purchasing this product for many years and have always been happy until now. The sponges are thinner and they are falling apart. As soon as I started to use the sponge, I could tell it was thinner. Just the feel of it was not right. I am also finding tiny pieces of the sponge in the sink. They are not holding up like they used to. I plan to find another sponge to use if this is the new 3M standard.

I have been using the same sponges for years. The quality is beyond cheap. I though I had a “bad” batch. But no. The top of the sponge comes loose with every sponge.

Used to be the best, now they are thin and fall apart in 2 weeks of regular use. Switching to OCedar which is currently a superior product in every way and in the end probably saving money because I don't have to open a new sponge every 2 weeks. If they switch back to the old version, I will be back.

These have changed! I have used scotch Brite blue spongues forever and the last few I have bought fell apart immediately and have peeled apart. They do not scrub at all. I don't know what has happy but you need to go back to the old style.
Been using this product for over 15 years with no issues. Even a dishwasher cycle or two, these sponges would hold up and never fall apart as they do today. Lately these ScotchBrite sponges last only 2-3 days before they begin to fall apart & separate! (See Pix. The glue is visible and appears to be intentionally water soluble). Obviously 3M changed the glue adhesive to a cheaper one. (Old adhesive was a light yellow, new adhesive is a deep mustard yellow... please see pix). I believe its all an effort to increase sales by their Marketing Team by cheapening the glue thus reducing its usable life by half... and you can completely forget about running them through a dishwasher cycle or two, that caused them to completely come apart. Sad, we loved this product from 3M, now we'll be looking for a better sponge.
I've used these for yrs & buy them in bulk. This last pkg is awful. The sponge is thinner, bleeds blue dye and falls apart within one week. The center of the sponge also constantly feels slimy.
